Part / Cost Complexity
Drawing details are cost drivers, and can often be avoided. We can review your part design or tolerance callouts and provide feedback on what changes could be made to reduce part cost and machine setups.
QA Inspection
Full CMM inspection and SPC on all parts machined in-house and from outside vendors. Using the latest Nikon CMM manager software, we can inspect directly to your supplied CAD model, and provide inspection reports if desired.
Additionally, we can provide full turnkey documentation of your parts or assemblies, including CAD models, drawings, and assembly instructions.
Our uniqueness
is our size
We intentionally run a lean team. It allows us to deliver quickly, while maintaining the highest level of quality for our clients with less margin for error. We don’t have the bloat of a large scale shop and we intentionally operate on a flexible model.
